Food for Peace
The theme for this week's Sunday Stamps is food, and the stamps on this envelope that Jean sent almost two years ago fit the bill.

I like this stamp,. The design really looks vintage and non-American!
ReplyDeleteA good message and a striking design.
Deletethe sheaf also looks like a living pitch fork to me :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the designer was trying to emulate a fork for eating, not for pitching :)
DeleteOr maybe the lines going up represent the desire to have food supplies going up?
Nice to see so many stamps! A mini-grainfield in the mail!
ReplyDeleteYes, I wasn't expecting to see stamps older than me in the mail :)
DeleteI've seen quite a few Freedom from Hunger stamps but can't recall seeing the Food for Peace message before although I imagine the US provided a lot of grain food aid.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great message.
DeleteFood for thought let alone peace.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how peaceful the world would be if hunger was eliminated.
